THE MOVEMENT OF ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS WITHIN CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University and the Graduate School of the College of Charleston In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Historic Preservation by Laura Ashley Burghardt May 2009 Accepted by: Jonathan H. Poston, Committee Chair Ashley Robbins Wilson Ralph C. Muldrow Robert D. Russell, Jr., Ph.D. i ABSTRACT The movement of architectural elements from one building to another within Charleston, South Carolina, is an integral part of historic preservation in the city. From the earliest days of the city’s historic preservation movement in the 1920s, preservationists have understood the importance of preserving elements of historic structures. In the early twentieth century, architectural elements were threatened by antique dealers and collectors of architecture who sought to purchase decorative elements, even out of standing houses. Buildings were also threatened with demolition as gas stations and other modern structures were constructed.

  • The 2019 Annual Meeting of the Southeast Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians
    The 2019 Annual Meeting of the Southeast Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians Book of Abstracts Greenville, South Carolina October 9–12, 2019 Thursday October 10 Session 1.1 Thurs. 9:45–11:30 Regency F Campus Architecture and Planning Moderator Clifton Ellis Texas Tech Lydia Mattice Brandt USC-Columbia Race and Privilege in the Midcentury Fraternity House: The University of Alabama This paper will argue that the University of Alabama has long-fostered racial and class segregation on its campus by building and expanding Greek housing. In the years surrounding Autherine Lucy’s failed attempt to integrate the University of Alabama in 1956 and the National Guard’s enforcement of desegregation in 1963, the university constructed close to forty new sorority and fraternity houses at a cost of well over $10 million. Funded largely by the College Housing Loan Program, these structures created racially segregated spaces for groups of self- selected, white students using government financing at the height of its desegregation mandate. The addition of party rooms, commercial kitchens, and dining halls continued to guarantee that white students lived, ate, and played separately from black students on the Tuscaloosa campus into the 1970s and ‘80s. The University of Alabama once again prioritized the construction of new fraternity and sorority houses in its campus expansion plans of the 2010s. Using money from revenue bonds, it has loaned chapters tens of millions of dollars to build new “houses” on campus. All of these chapters are predominantly white: an African American woman was first accepted into a white sorority in 2013 and most fraternities remain composed entirely of white members.

The plantation, purchased by the Horlbeck family in 1817, produced primarily Sea Island cotton. A cotton gin, smokehouse, and 9 slave cabins, all built of brick made here, survive from the antebellum period. The present main house at Boone Hall was built for Thomas A.

The soils that cover much of the tract contain dense red clay and sand making it suitable for brick production. In 1817, “a plantation with a Brick Yard established thereon called Boon Hall” was purchased by John and Henry Horlbeck.
